There are several ways that I promote student empowerment in their classes, including:
Providing opportunities for student choice and autonomy: Allow students to make decisions about their learning, such as choosing the topics they want to study, the format of assignments, or the type of feedback they prefer. This can help students feel more invested in their learning and take ownership of the process.
Encouraging student participation: Create a learning environment that is inclusive and supportive, where students feel comfortable sharing their ideas and participating in class discussions. This can help students feel valued and respected, and can lead to more meaningful learning experiences.
Providing feedback that is timely, specific, and constructive: Give students feedback on their progress throughout the course, highlighting areas of strength and offering suggestions for improvement. This can help students see the value in their efforts and feel more motivated to continue learning.
Fostering a growth mindset: Encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for growth and to embrace the idea that intelligence and abilities can be developed over time. This can help students become more resilient and motivated learners.
Creating a sense of community: Build a sense of community within the classroom, encouraging students to work collaboratively and support each other. This can help students feel connected to their classmates and instructors, and can create a supportive and inclusive learning environment.
By incorporating these strategies into their teaching practices, instructors can help promote student empowerment and create more meaningful and successful learning experiences for their students.
Technology is an important tool.
Technology has come a long way and it can be used to enhance student learning and engagement in class.
Encourage student use of technology is useful; however, with boundaries in place.
I used more techology during the Covid Epidemic.
ways to promote student empowerment is to allow students to have multiple ways to learning and work at their own pace.
I think there was alot to think about in this section to build value for students while creating an effective learning environment.
The part of the lession talking about Technology usage in the classroom. This is new to me, i was always the more "OLD FASHION " instructor reading and highlighting the book and all electrical devices off. But with the time changing i have opened up to technology and now all my new have there laptops open and ready to go there are able to use there phones as well for recording, pic, completion of assignments. The dynamic of the classroom has changed but in a more positive way. The student have access to any information they need and can complete assignments in class during any down time in class. They work more independantly and take charge of there course.
Self-belief is essential for student success. As they grow as learners, they take pride in their knowledge and become more active participants in their learning process.
I allow students to reseach recipies and techniques on line to enhance class experience.
The course pre-test is an excellent idea. It will help to show students that they may know more about the topic than they assume. It also pushs them to engage one another in friendly debate, which is likely to occur not only in the classroom but at their jobs as well.
I really like the idea of an ungraded pre-quiz at the beginning of a class to help gauge what information and knowledge students are bringing to the table.
Eyes and ears open, I have had a no phone policy in the classroom for years. Now, I have to rethink how I can make it work for me.
I like the open door policy until it becomes an issue for some, that's when i must tactfully intervene, usually in a one on one setting.
Devotion, dedication and discipline are important qualities in empowering students to achieve their dreams. Build student confidence by giving them the opportunity actively engage and think through the process until the objective is achieved. This takes patience and connection.
Use technology in your classroom. If you students are engaged and empowered with the content, they won't be as distracted by their phones so it shouldn't be a problem.
Methods of deliveries such as technology plays a vital role in education today, therefore, students should encouraged to utilize it in and outside of the classroom.
I will create a natural engaging atmosphere within my classes. Students should look forward to coming or signing in to your classes because they know they will be receiving valuable content and build on their knowledge base. Providing challenges in the learning process is beneficial.
There are many ways to increase student engagment. As instructors, we must facilitate the learning process; however, it is up to the student to be engaged in their learning.
I plan to empower my students by starting each class with a refresher from the previos class. I plan to promote group interactions and really get to know my students. I will use this knowledge to highlight their strengths.
